    Socializing Baby Chicks

    So, I have 2 baby chicks, a little over a week old I believe. One is a buff orpington, one is a slw, both females. I want to socialize them better, because right now, they're a bit unfriendly. They get very scared when I go to put my hand in their bin, and they are very flighty. Both birds have...

    Baby Chicks Arrived!

    So, my baby chicks arrived a day early, which was nice. I would've made this post sooner, but we were having trouble with the chicks, so I had started another thread about that. Anyway, we have one silver laced wyandotte named Penny, one light brahma named Ronnie, and one buff orpington who...

    Help!!

    I just got my three baby chicks, and we set them up in their habitat. The issue though, is that the light brahma is attacking the smaller silver laced wyandotte! She seemed to be grabbing her head and trying to drag her. We put the light brahma in a separate box for now, but i'm not sure what to do!

    Chick Starter & Water

    Chickens for Backyards

    Has anyone else purchased chicks from this place? I ordered three chicks and they should be shipping tomorrow, so I wanted to hear people's experiences with this hatchery. So far, things have gone well for me, although I had to change one of the chicken breeds twice because they weren't available.

    Best Backyard Breeds?

    What are some of the best backyard breeds out there? I'm ordering a silver laced wyandotte, buff orpington, and light brahma, but I'd love to learn about more breeds. The main criteria for me would be breeds who are good egg layers, very friendly, and cold hardy.

    Hi, my name is Christina, and I'm new on this forum (and new to chickens!) I'm currently waiting for my order of chicks from Chickensforbackyards.com. I've ordered three different chicks that I think will be good starter chickens and egg layers: 1 Buff Orpington, 1 Silver Laced Wyandotte, and 1...

    Insulating a Coop

    We're in the process of getting 3 baby chicks, and since we live in Maine, the winters are very cold. What do you all do to insulate your coops and keep the chickens warm? Are there certain types of coops that work best?

    Baby Chicks

    We've just ordered 3 baby chicks : 1 buff orpington, 1 light brahma, and 1 silver laced wyandotte. Because we're getting them mid to late summer, at what age should they go outside into the coop? We are located in Maine so it gets very cold. Our chicks should arrive on August 8th.
